Flipping the Ohio Supreme Court from red to blue is one of the few ways Ohioans can start to hold state leaders accountable for the First Energy/HB6 corruption, extremist policies and failure to respect the will of the voters. These same leaders continue to ignore the will of the voters, are defunding our public schools with their voucher program and spend their time on extremist positions targeting women and LGBTQ+ Ohioans.
The Democratic candidates for Ohio Supreme Court are Judge Lisa Forbes, and current Justices Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart .
· Justice Michael Donnelly is a terrific judge who came to the supreme court with a specific interest in insuring the lower courts are clear, consistent and on record when plea agreements are entered. This reduces the uncertainty for victims and defendants.
· Justice Melody Stewart is a solid judge with a strong background as an Ohio Supreme Court and appeals court judge. She is being challenged by a Dewine appointee whose only experience as a judge is the first year of a 2-year appointment. He is running to extend his term to 6 years.
· Judge Lisa Forbes is an appellate judge with a lengthy background/experience in complex civil litigation. This is an open seat & her experience is excellent/perfect/tailor-made for Ohio's highest court.
Please vote for all three of these candidates.
“The current GOP majority on the Ohio Supreme Court has shown they’re willing to put politics over people. If we don’t flip the court this year, extremists in the state legislature will continue to pass out-of-touch policies that move our state backward…” —
